EMIL CORNELY AND ROBERT CORNELY, OF PARIS, FRANCE.

EMBROlDERlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,311, dated December17, 1889.

Application filed July 19, 1889.

To all 1071 0770 it may concern:

Be it known that we, EMIL CORNELY and ROBERT CORNELY, residents ofParis, in the Republic of France, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Machines for Fixing Cords and Braids to Textile Fabrics,which are fully set forth in the following specification.

In Letters Patent No. 3 L0A22, of April 20, 1885, a method is describedand claimed for fixing cords and braids to textile fabrics.

The object of the present invention is the addition to the machinedescribed in above Letters Patent of a braiding-guide in front of theneedle, by means of which abraid is laid and fixed between the cloth andthe cord, so that the three substancesthe cloth, the braid, and thecord-are sewed and fixed together by one and the same operation, andthat the entire work and feed can be guided by the crank-handle of themachine.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical section through thecentral tube of the machine. Fig. 2represents a vertical section throughthe devices which produce the seam. (Shown on an enlarged scale.) Fig. 3represents the entire machine in side elevation, partly in section.

The letters and figures of reference on the drawings are the same asthose in Letters Patent No. 310,422.

0 represents the cloth-plate of the machine; 0, the cloth; 7b, theneedle-hook; b, athreadcarrier, which turns around the needle in acontinuous revolving motion 5. (Z, a cordguide, which is behind theneedle-hook h, through which a cord or braid P is drawn, which, passingfrom a spool from below, is laid between the cloth-plate O and the cloth0. The revolving thread-carrier 1) turns around the cord P and aroundthe needle n and winds its thread simultaneously around both of them.The needle n, upon rising above the cloth, draws a loop upward in thesame manner as is the casein the single-thread embroideringmachine, andproduces the ordinary chainstitch, within which the cord P is secured inthe manner represented at Fig.2. The thread f of the thread-carrier Z),being wound around the cord P and around the needle n at the same time,naturally fixes the cord securely to the cloth.

$erial No. 318,006. (No model.)

. The thread-carrier b may be operated by the means described inLettersPatent'No. 262,742, or by those described and claimed in Letters PatentNo. 338,488, dated March 23,

1886, consisting of a series of pinions and cogged wheels. (Representedin Fig. 3.)

A screw-wheel g is secured to the main driving-shaft D and actuates asimilar horizontal screw-wheel 7c and its shaft m, the pinions u p, theshaft q, the pinions A U E CLU, and shaft N, pinions R T K L B, and thethreadcarrier 22 and its thread-spool, which are secured to the hub ofwheel B.

As explained in the patent last referred to, the thread-carrier b can begoverned by the crank-handle S by means of the pinions ur H I, shaft Q,and pinions a.

The cording-guide (1 consists of a circular plate provided with atruncated cone M, in which an oval space (Z is made for the passage ofthe needle-hook h and behind it for the cord P. The plate M is securedto the upper rim of the wheel 10, which is in gear with a similar wheel.2, to which a pinion 0 is secured, which is in gear with the pinion sof shaft 1", and which can be governed by the crank-handle S by means ofthe pinions u 'U. The wheel 13 is mounted upon the tube 2, which issecured in the frame 3. There is a small. pulley 4, which turns on thetube 2 and is connected by a belt or chain 7 to a pulley 6 of thecrank-handle. The cording-spool 5 is supported by a bracket 8, which isalso secured to the pulley 4.

As thus far described the machine is the same as shown in Patent No.340,422 aforesaid, by reference to which a fuller description thereofmay be had. I will now describe the new improvements whereby a braid orlike article may be laid and secured between the cord and fabric. Aspool-holder 10 is secured to the flange of the wheel w and bears spoolF, upon which the braid G is wound, which is to be fixed between thecloth 0 and the cord P, and a passage is made through the guide-plate M,through which the braid G is passed and from which it is brought underthe needle n. It must be observed that the passage for the braid Gin theplate M must be in front of the needle-hook h, while the passage (Z forthe cord P is in the rear of said needle.

In the operation of the machine the needle stitches first through thecloth 0, then through the braid G, to which the cord 1 is finally fixedby means of the thread fol the revolving tln'ead-carrier 7), in themanner described in Letters Patent No. 340,422, the feed of the machinebeing effected in the direction of the arrow. As the plate M is governedby the crank-handle of the machine, both the braid G as Well as the cordP are always guided in the direction of the feed.

A variety of ornamental effects can be produced by changing the sizesand colors of the braid and of the cord.

l/Ve claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1 Inasewing or embroidering machine, the combination, with thestitch-forming mechanism, the cord-guide, and the revolvingthreadcarrier, of a braid-guide arranged in front of the needle forlaying a braid between the cord and fabric, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the reciprocating hook-needle, the universal feedmechanism, the cord guide, the revolving thread-carrier for winding athread around the cord and needle, and the braid-guide, said guidesbeing both connected with the operating-handle of the feed mechanism, soas to follow the direction of the feed, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the hook-needle and universal feed mechanism,of a plate havin g a cord-guide behind the needle and a braidguide infront of the same, said plate being connected with theoperating-handleof the feed mechanism, as set forth, and thethreadcarrier for winding a thread around the cord and needle,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof We have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
